29.5.2024 10:54Comment on Power of Play: How Video Games Build Communities by Nicola Pearson<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What an engaging post Lewis! I definitely don't think that changing profile pictures or specific challenges create legislative change directly, but they do facilitate the conversations amongst at least our close circles to get the ball rolling. They demonstrate support and create a societal culture of belonging around these important issues. Putting pressure on the people who can make the change, and I guess that's the whole point right?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

27.5.2024 04:38Comment on The Dynamics of Digital Activism: From Clicks to Concrete Change by Alexandra Jeffrey<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hi Lewis,</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Great to read your blog and consider how videogames are a way of escaping the harsh reality of the real world they live in (Owen, 2016). I could see the attraction when I looked at the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPFII3ozSHI" rel="nofollow ugc">trailer for Eve Online</a>. It’s this sophisticated space-themed world with advanced computer graphics, and I could imagine myself being part of this lawless frontier. De Zwart and Humphreys (2017) say this “massively multiplayer online game” (MMOG) has more than half a million subscribers – that’s a whole online community right there. The game has a unique player council, the Council of Stellar Management (CSM), which provides a communication channel between players and developers. It all sounds good in theory, but the “aggressive and piratical game play” that’s encouraged within the game has spilled over into real life, with a number of scams and scandals over the past few years, “including fraud, Ponzi schemes, corporate raiding and theft’ (de Zwart & Humphreys 2017). So much for an escape from reality!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cheers Blanche</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
27.5.2024 03:50Comment on Power of Play: How Video Games Build Communities by Blanche Clark<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Your post delves into the social aspects of video gaming, touching on vulnerability, community, and inequality. Referencing Gabrielle Zevin's novel, you discuss how playing games can be an intimate act, especially for marginalised groups like female gamers. You also explore how gaming has evolved into a vast industry, with platforms like Twitch and YouTube being the most dominant ones. Very nice touch on mentioning Stampy, I never got into Minecraft growing up but many of my friends back in primary school watched his videos and I followed his Disney Infinity Let's Play series. I definitely agree with video games being an escape from the real-world, it was definitely an escape for me during the pandemic lockdowns and final years of high school.<br><br>Another great post, Lewis! It's been a pleasure following your posts throughout this unit!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p>Hi Lewis,</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I enjoyed reading your post. I come from a game playing family and I am the central instigator. I think games are a great way to sharpen the mind, have fun, and bring us together. We play lots of cards, board games, etc. We’ve had almost every game console come through our home, but X-Box currently has pride of place.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I had no idea of the discrimination in gaming until our unit learnings on Gamergate which I found really shocking. It certainly provided greater appreciation for the video you posted, about what it’s like to be a female in the gaming world. Cheers! </p>

You have provided so much detail and a fantastic selection of resources. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I don't find the world of gaming overly interesting, but your post is engaging and informative.
